The first official look at the 35th anniversary Sentai series, Kaizoku Sentai Goukaiger is out...and it looks great! I love the uniforms! The pirate theme works really well. Also, I like their helmets. They look very retro looking. The emblem on the top of the helmet looks cool, but also describes the gimmick of the series, keys, which'll be used to transform into past Sentai warriors. The Key gimmick reminds me Ryukendo, but I digress.
The series is set to premiere on February 13, 2011. Judging by the rumors we've heard, I am really excited for this! Seems February is the month for premieres. Both this and Power Rangers Samurai, which premieres on February 5, start in February.
Samurai, Goukaiger, and OOO. Here's hoping that 2011 will be an awesome year for Toku!
As many of you know, or should know, Kamen Rider OOO is the current KR series. So far, OOO is a very good series so far, having some good drama, awesome action, and a great premise. And what goes with an awesome show? An awesome theme song!
The theme song for Kamen Rider OOO is titled Anything Goes!, performed by Japanese recording artist Maki Ohguro. Although the full version of the song was only released a few weeks ago, the thing is I instantly fell in love with the song when I saw the first episode of OOO. This opening was so awesome that I listened to the TV Sized version constantly. I just absolutely loved it. Love at first listen, I say, just like with Double's theme, "W-B-X ~W-Boiled Extreme~". Even since I heard this, I had been anticipating the full version. The waiting was worth it, because this song is awesome!
As I said on my thoughts on OOO's first episode, this song is just full of energy, which is bolstered by Maki Ohguro's wonderful voice. I mean it, she just has an awesome singing voice. Plus the rapping on the song, performed by Rah-D, makes the song even more awesome. Plus the beat of the song is just wonderful. I can say that this is one of the only songs that I can listen to an instrumental of and have it not seem awkward to me. I mean it, it's that good. I absolutely love this song. I always find myself listening to it on repeat mode on my computer or my mp3 player, which oddly enough I'm listening to it right now. Overall, OOO is cool, this song is cool, and the PV is cool (Check it out, it's awesome).
A new trailer for Power Rangers Samurai was televised last night, and it looks so awesome!
This trailer is just awesome. The music in it is awesome, the original footage in it looks great, and it just feels great. It just makes me more excited for Power Rangers Samurai and I am looking forward to it everyday!
Okay, I am really sorry that I haven't posted anything in a month. I have just been really busy with school, but I try to find time to post more here. I have some ideas for some new posts, so look forward to that. Unfortunately, I will not do the Double review. It just seems like it would take a long time and time is something I don't have much of right now. All I can say right now is that I loved it. It had a perfect balance of action, drama, and comedy and just really stood out as one of the best Kamen Rider series and it is on my list of favorites. That is pretty much all I can say right now about it.
Again, I am sorry for the lack of posts, I will try to find more time to post here. I haven't abandoned it and I never will. I will most likely have more to talk about with Power Rangers Samurai and the 35th anniversary Sentai Series, Gokaiger, on the way. But right now, just please bear with me, okay? Thanks for your patience and understanding.
Well, the first episode of the new Kamen Rider series, Kamen Rider OOO premiered a few days ago, and I was really impressed to be honest. It was better than I expected. Well, for starters, the opening. I loved the opening! I loved the song, I love the actual sequence, and I just love the overall feel of it. It's just like Double's opening. There's so much energy put into it and it is just awesome!
Now, let's talk about the characters. The only characters that I can talk a lot about are Eiji and Ankh. I don't really have much to say about the others.
Eiji seems cool. For one, he wears awesome underwear. I also like his "as long as I got money and clean underwear" attitude. Plus, he does want to protect people. I also like Ankh. Besides the fact that he's only an arm, he does make a good impression on me. He has his own agenda from the other Greeed, and I like how he can merge with a human.
Speaking of Greeed, I do like the concept of them, as well as their designs. I don't understand why they have colored curtains with them, but I don't really care.
Finally, let's talk about the Rider. I do like his design. A little too much black, but still, he's a good looking Rider. The transformation wasn't what I was expecting, but it was still cool. Plus the Henshin Sound sounded awesome, probably because the belt is voiced by Akira Kushida, who sang the opening to Taiyou Sentai Sun Vulcan and sang the openings for many Metal Hero Series. Plus, the fight scene really clinched it for me. It was a very good scene, setting up what OOO can do very well. The form changing worked out really well. Although I will admit the process to transform does look kind of long in my opinion. But it still works out well.
Overall, I enjoyed the first episode and I look forward to watching the newest series. After all, OOO has some big shoes to fill from Double being one of the best series ever (BTW, the review is coming soon). Let's hope for the best!
Fight on, Kamen Rider OOO!
Oh and BTW, if you want to see OOO subbed quicker than TV-Nihon, then take a look at a subbing group called Over-Time (Formerly W-Time). They get up subbed episodes a day or two after the episode aired. They subbed Double from beginning to end and have done them faster than TV-Nihon. They're good subs. I'd recommending watching their subs. To go to their website, go here.
Yep, it's been 17 years since the first episode of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Day of the Dumpster, debuted and started not only one of the most successful kids franchises ever, but started a new era of kids TV. This pretty much started the series we all know and love: Power Rangers.
Wow. It's kinda hard to believe that it's been 17 years, but it has. You know, I have to admit, Power Rangers is one of the things that made my childhood great. Why? Just the action, the characters, everything. I just love this show. All of the memories I've had watching this show can never be forgotten, nor replaced.
With the 17th birthday here, I have a feeling that Power Rangers will go on for many more years to come. With Season 18 on the way, I sense a good future for the series.
Happy birthday, Power Rangers!! May the Power live on forever!
